Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to Blackboard, an e-learning platform (“The Service” or the “Website”) provided by Blackboard (“the Company”, “Blackboard”, “we”, or “us”). Your privacy is important to us, and this Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your information. This policy applies to all personal data collected through our website, blackboard.org.uk, and related services.
Please note that Blackboard may include links to third-party websites. These external sites have their own privacy policies, which may differ from ours. We encourage you to review those policies when accessing third-party services.
How to Contact Us
For any questions regarding this Privacy Policy or if you wish to contact Blackboard, please email us at info@blackboard.org.uk.
Information We Collect
We collect data both indirectly via technology on our website and directly when you provide it.
Registration Information
You can browse Blackboard’s website without registering. However, to access certain features or enroll in courses, you will need to create an account. During registration, we may collect personal information such as your name, email address, country of residence, and password. Additional information, such as age or payment details, may also be required for certain services.
We may also ask for information related to your preferences or interests to enhance your learning experience and inform you about relevant offers and services.
Automatic Data Collection
Whether or not you have registered with us, Blackboard may automatically collect certain information when you use our services. This includes data about your device, browser type, IP address, and geographic location. We may also track your activity on the website, including the pages you visit and the time spent on each page.
For users accessing the service via a mobile device, we may collect and store Device Identifiers to improve the functionality of our platform.
Cookies
We use cookies to enhance your experience on Blackboard. Cookies are small data files that allow us to remember your preferences and personalize your experience. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings, though disabling cookies may limit some functionality on our website.

How We Use Your Information
We work with trusted third-party service providers to help deliver our services, including website hosting, payment processing, and email marketing. Your personal information may be shared with these parties to perform specific functions. We take steps to ensure these third parties uphold confidentiality and data security standards.
Blackboard may also disclose your information when legally required, to protect our rights, or in compliance with our Terms of Service.
After account deactivation, we may retain your data for backup or audit purposes for a reasonable period.
Security
We take security seriously and use industry-standard measures to protect your data. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of data during transmission or storage.
We recommend keeping your password confidential and signing out after using our services, especially on shared devices.
Children’s Privacy
The services offered by Blackboard are intended for individuals aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect or store information from individuals under the age of 18. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, we will take immediate action to delete it.
Third-Party Advertisers and Links
Blackboard may feature ads from third-party networks, which may use cookies or other tracking technologies to personalize the ads displayed to you. We do not share your personal information with advertisers unless you have explicitly consented.
Our Privacy Policy does not apply to third-party websites or advertisers. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies separately when interacting with external sites or ads.
General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
Blackboard complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as it applies to data protection in the European Union and the UK. You have the right to access, update, or request the deletion of your personal data at any time by contacting us at info@blackboard
Updates to the Privacy Policy
By using our website, you agree to this Privacy Policy. Blackboard reserves the right to modify this policy at any time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by posting a notice on our website.
Continued use of our services after policy updates will indicate your acceptance of the new terms.
